Kenney Up for New Jersey Double-Header

Sterling, Virginia (September 25, 2008) -- New Jersey Motorsports
Park plays host to the only double-header meeting in the inaugural 2008
VW Jetta TDI Cup Series with Rounds 6 and 7 set for Saturday 27th and
Sunday 28th September. Virginia's Liam Kenney hopes to use the New
Jersey double to break back into the top-five in the Driver Standings
ahead of the season finale at Road Atlanta next weekend, Friday 3rd
October.

The 16-year-old Sterling resident recorded his fourth straight top-ten
finish last weekend in Round 5 at Iowa Speedway but he dropped to seventh
overall in the points, on 107 markers, having been penalized by officials
post-race -- his fighting sixth place finish at the checkered,
having driven superbly to climb from 13th on the grid, later reduced to a
disappointing ninth place classification.

Keen to move on, Liam, who races the #35 ViON/Trax International
2009-spec clean diesel Jetta TDI, is hoping for a more productive outing
at the all-new, 2.25-mile Millville-facility.

"I have to say I'm really looking forward to this
weekend's double-header," said Kenney. "I've
looked at the track layout and there's a real similarity with
California's Willowsprings Raceway, which is a circuit I've
had some success at. That could be a good thing as this series is so
tight, everyone's really racing on top of each other! It can be
difficult to keep your nose clean if you're looking to move forward
in the field. Unfortunately, of-late I've found myself having to
make up large qualifying deficits due to being sick and a tire
delaminating issue at Lime Rock and again with the tires last weekend at
Iowa.

"I've proved you can pass for position but there's no
doubt qualifying is really the be-all and end-all to challenge for wins
in a series as close as this and with the numbers on the grid. If you
can qualify top-five, which I've done, then you really have a great
shot in the race. The series really does provide good, close racing and
that's definitely a positive thing. This weekend's
double-header is a big deal, there's a lot at stake in terms of
points heading into next weekend's finale at Road Atlanta."
